Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 552 5 Years



Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and Nial\'s relationship with the Dracos improved drastically.

After learning how to inscribe dozens of Forgotten Advanced Runic constellations with a 100% perfection rating, Nial\'s rank improved to that of an Archmaster Runicier. He started to provide the Dracos with the perfect forgotten advanced runic constellations and received funding and the support of more and better Dracos in return.

The superiors of the Draco race were also willing to leave the one hundred thousand Dracos under his supervision to construct the new shelter, which was a sign of their trust in his capabilities and a means to ensure that they would get their hands onto a small piece of the shelter as well.

However, there was not only the Dracos whose relationship with Nial had improved drastically. The Elven races had also gotten much closer to him within the five years that had passed. They got to know about the Forgotten runic constellations as well, and the high possibility of him creating a shelter where all races were allowed to live freely.

The Royal Princess discussed it with her mother, the Empress, and they chose to support Nial as well. Their means of support were a little different but it was certainly not worse. They provided Nial with more instructors, who taught how to concoct more and better potions. As for the Runicier teachers, they still continued to teach but their lectures were shared with the Dracos who were also teaching the Rookie Runiciers in the Orion Artisan Guild. Together they could teach their students how to inscribe runic constellations properly, how to connect runic constellations with armaments and what to pay attention to.

Nial could personally teach others as well but it would waste his precious time. He had way too many things to take care of, which included making use of Damian\'s memories as much as possible.

If the Late God of Darkness\' memories influenced him, he should make use of them, at the very least!

That was also how he improved his proficiency with the three techniques which he had received from Damian as well.

Weaponry of Ten Thousand Nights was a great martial art technique that allowed Nial to attain great compatibility with all kinds of weapons. It was a martial art technique that could be used with any kind of weapon. Nial used dark energy to exert the technique and he could also use it in specific ways to increase the power exhibited by the weapons.

The martial art techniques, created by the Late God of Darkness, were made to exploit the potential and lethality of dark energy to the peak.

Nial\'s control of the technique was still not perfect, and he had yet to test out using the martial art technique with the Essence of Darkness, let alone altered dark energy that had been enhanced by the crimson moonlight of the Blood Eclipse Moon, or Chaos from the Vengeance of Chaos ability. However, he was slowly getting closer to the profound proficiency which he had intended to reach by now.

Unfortunately, a day was only 24 hours long, which didn\'t leave Nial with enough time to focus on acquiring more knowledge as a Runicier, manage his two organizations, work on improving his relationship with the Draco, Elves, and the rebels of the Shelturion, study three technique in an attempt to reach the perfect mastery in the future and to cultivate his Sea of Darkness.

Cultivating his Sea of Darkness was not exactly difficult since he had gotten his hands on a cultivation technique that was specially customized for the Sea of Darkness, to begin with.

He followed a different cultivation path than most of the other Originals since he was in possession of a Darkness Sea rather than a Mana Sea and the cultivation technique provided by the Late God of Darkness was perfect for that.

The Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique was extremely powerful if utilized properly, however, it was also extremely difficult to learn. The complexity of the Vortex of Abyss cultivation technique was not to be taken lightly. It took Nial more than a year to study the technique and attempt to practice it before he was finally able to utilize the technique.

That had been extremely frustrating but the result was certainly worth it. Nial\'s cultivation progressed almost ten times faster than before. He had never used a proper cultivation technique before because the Mana breathing technique couldn\'t even be considered a cultivation technique in the truest sense according to his newly acquired knowledge.

The Mana Breathing technique merely taught a way on how to absorb Mana out of the surroundings, not how to utilize it with great efficiency in order to further advance the cultivation speed.

That was the difference between a mana absorption technique and a cultivation technique. The former was a small part of the latter!

Nial was currently at the Peak of the Deux rank since his Sea of Darkness was filled with dark energy to the brim. He was ready to advance to the Keltia rank using the dark energy his Heart of Darkness had absorbed in recent years.

However, instead of rushing things, Nial decided to direct his focus on the other things he had to take care of.

After all, Kaeldur and Tyrant demanded from he to use the Awakening of the Prymal technique to summon more of Damian\'s Devils.

They told Nial that it was about time for the Devils to gather before he would leave the Halheim shelter once again.

The moment Nial left the enclosed area to create his own shelter, other races would take note of him. It was not possible for him to hide his energy properly anymore. It may be possible to prevent any dark energy from leaking out of his body, but that was only under the condition that he didn\'t fight.

Avoiding fights may be possible for some time, however, it wouldn\'t be possible for Nial to hide forever if he truly desired to create his own shelter and be considered its rightful owner, the strongest being who could ensure the safety of his future citizens.

The Dracos knew about his strength and the fact that he possessed memories and the powers of the Late God of Darkness, but they had taken it rather lightly. Instead of telling other races about it, they attempted to build a closer relationship using various means.

In fact, even Ophelia would soon travel to the Halheim shelter to help create the most suitable foundation of a shelter with the given capabilities.

Nial didn\'t expect Ophelia to assist in constructing the shelter. He didn\'t think that his Runicier talent was in any way better than Ophelia\'s exceptional talent and wisdom in terms of her Runicier knowledge.

Only later was he informed that Michael Ignis was actually Ophelia\'s elder brother. It was a great surprise and something Michael had hidden quite well.

Ophelia wanted to see her brother again after not seeing him for such a long time. At the same time, she might as well give Nial a helping hand in order to make sure that his relationship with the Draco race would end up being close to indestructible.

But whether the investment of the Draco race would actually be worth it or if it would be considered as a great mistake in the future was still unknown.
